mini chocolate cupcakes

I made mini chocolate cupcakes for a friend's daughter's 1st birthday party last Sunday. The party's theme was Cat in the Hat. I've not read the book but i knew the colors were red and white with blue. I couldn't think of anything creative or great, so i just used red stars. now that i went to the party, i have a good idea. i could have made faces on the cupcakes with blue icing for crazy blue hair for the "things" or whatever they are called. next time...

here are a couple pictures from the party. my friend Jane is really creative and made all these things

Man, those babies went fast! I didn't even get to try one! :( I bet some greedy little kids took a bunch! haha Thanks again for all your help! Good thing you came early (even by accident) coz you saved our lives! :) Let me know if I can ever return the favor!

hmmmm not sure kim. do you have a theme or color for the party? i would just copy that over to the cupcakes. flowers are always pretty on cupcakes. and also nowadays you can get really cute mini (or regular sized) cupcake liners-different colors and designs are available which make the cupcakes look really cute.

oooooooooh. for these cupcakes, i used the boxed cake mix-i forgot which brand-i bought whatever was on sale. i used my mini scooper (2 tsp) to make them uniform in size and i believe i baked them for 11 minutes.

Yummy Antioxidant

Beyond the froth, cocoa teems with antioxidants that prevent cancer, Cornell University food scientists say. Comparing the chemical anti-cancer activity in beverages known to contain antioxidants, they have found that cocoa has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times those found in green tea.

A day without chocolate is a day without sunshine.
